         G                                              D 
'Cause I heard a lot of things about the North American girls 
                    Em 
I was looking for a lady

Someone to have my baby

So I got me on a 747 Pan America plane 
  G                                     D 
I sat me down next to your all American dame 
                                              Em 
Said, "I'm going up North", she said, "It's a pity" 
                                                   D       
Then she told me all about the gold down in Mexico City 




[Refrão]
             G      
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying 
                                                     D 
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head 
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) 
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) 
             G

When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head

Got off the plane, went to the customs and they gave me a list 
       G                                        D 
Do you carry a gun, take drugs, or are you Communist? 
                            Em 
They said my papers were in order 
                                                          D       
I wasn't staying long, no sir, I'm going South across the border

Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high

Took the first South bound across the Rio and down 
G                                      D 
Found a little place in a small Mexico town
